A Semester In The Sandbox: A Marine Reservist's Iraq War Journal
Ebooks To Download

Dozens of books about the Iraq War have been written by politicians, generals, snipers and Special Forces operatives. This war journal of an enlisted U.S. Marine provides an un-glamorized narrative of a common reservist's deployment to Iraq, from notification of mobilization to final trip home. The visceral experiences of combat are all described in candid detail, along with hazards of homesickness, boredom and loss. In light of the rise of the Islamic State in the area described in the book, the author's story presents a timely account of the challenges of restoring peace in this restive area.

An awesome book for any veteran or person who's interested in the war. Davidson did an amazing job documenting our tour, laying out emotions and frustrations I forgot I had. Laying out the gut wrenching pain of losing guys that you've known for years and having to grind through the Iraqi elections the very next day. Five stars doesn't do this book justice nor can anything I say about it. He goes into detail about things I've never talked about myself, not even to other guys we served with. Absolutely a great book about a very important piece of history. You will not be disappointed.
